length and precision

This needs to develop more depth but it should have no trouble accomplishing that if it is allowed at least 5 to 7 years of bottle age

and this vintage does a great job of packaging it all together

bringing a spicy personality that belies a profound and deep nature

There is a velvety texture to the delicious and very round medium-bodied flavors that possess good richness but also just a trace of bitterness on the otherwise impressively persistent finish

A heady, complex bouquet suggests red and dark berry compote, sandalwood and cola, with a sexy note of Asian spices adding lift. Rich but lively, offering sweet black raspberry and floral pastille flavors braced by smoky minerality. Closes with subtle tannic grip, leaving blackberry and cherry cola notes behind. Josh Raynolds
